|
Critical - A problem that prevents the Client from conducting normal business. Critical problems typically involve core processing failures, application crashes, or serious calculative errors. |

Example-A statement routine run during reports processing that does not create the necessary statement output. An master setup window that does not permit new records to be created. |
| |

Response Timeframe- For calls logged during normal support hours, a return call must be made to the client within 30 minutes. For calls logged after-hours, a return call must be made within 1 hour |
| |
|
High - A problem that has a serious impact on Client’s operations, but does not prevent the client from conducting normal business. |
| |
|
|
Example- A address setup error that does allow to save it. A report with incorrect totaling or detail information. A e-space that has some data missing. |
| |
|
|
Response Timeframe-For calls logged during normal support hours, a return call must be made to the Client within 3 hours, but never later than the end of that business day. For calls logged after-hours, a return call must be made by 9 am local time the next day. |
| |
|
Medium - A problem that inconveniences the Client but does necessarily represent calculative errors or other software failures. |
| |
|
|
Example- A date range problem. Or a IP configuration error. |
| |
|
|
Response Timeframe- For calls logged during normal support hours, a return call must be made to the Client during the same business day. For calls logged after-hours, a return call must be made by the end of the next business day. |

|
Low - A problem that is primarily cosmetic in nature. Low priority problems detract from the system’s elegance and polish, but not from its core functionality. |
